Putting down roots

Steelroots (white patina), one of two bronze sculptures on special long-term loan from artist Steve Tobin, is part of his Steelroots series featuring massive rolled and bent steel pipes that can soar 25 to 40 feet high.

This series is an evolution of Tobin’s signature bronze Walking Roots series, which culminated in the first and only 9/11 memorial near Ground Zero. Trinity Root, the massive bronze casting/sculpture, is known for being the “tree that saved St. Paul’s Chapel” during the World Trade Center attacks.
